Highland Lakes

An enthusiastic group of hikers meets at the Clubhouse parking lot every third Sunday at 10:30 am. If you’re capable of hiking at least 5 miles at a steady, moderate pace, please join us.

The group either walks from the Clubhouse or drives a short distance to a designated starting point. It’s important for each hiker to bring water and lunch, and to wear appropriate hiking shoes. Most hikes average of 4-5 hours, which includes waiting, lunch break, and driving time. Well-behaved dogs, which must be on a leash whenever we walk on a roadway, are welcome. In the case of inclement weather, including snow or ice on the ground, hikes are cancelled. However, with sufficient snow on the ground and clear skies, some of us will go on the trails with cross-country skis and/or snowshoes.

We try to publish what we’re planning in the Newsette just prior to the selected date, but anyone interested in river outings can leave a message for us to call if we don’t meet the deadline for publication prior to this activity. For more information, contact Bob Taffer at 973-764-7975 or Christine Billack at 973-764-1458.
